    The unied formulations of nite cylindrical layer methods (FCLMs) based on the Reissnermixed variational theorem (RMVT) and the principle of virtual displacements (PVD) aredeveloped for the three-dimensional (3D) linear buckling analysis of simply-supported,multilayered functionally graded material (FGM) circular hollow cylinders and laminatedcomposite ones under axial compression. The material properties of the FGM layer areassumed to obey the power-law distributions of the volume fraction of the constituentsthrough the thickness coordinate. In these formulations, the cylinder is divided into a num-ber of nite cylindrical layers, in which the trigonometric functions and Lagrange polyno-mials are used to interpolate the in- and out-of-surface variations of the primary variablesof each individual layer, respectively, as well as the related order of each primary variablecan be freely chosen, such as the layerwise linear, quadratic or cubic function distribution

    through the thickness coordinate. The accuracy and convergence of the RMVT- and PVD-based FCLMs developed in this article are assessed by comparing their solutions with theexact 3D solutions available in the literature.

    1. Introduction

    In recent decades, ber-reinforced composite materials (FRCMs) have been used to form beam-, plate-, and shell-likestructures in a wide range of industry applications due to their high strength- and stiffness-to-weight ratios, in which thethrough-thickness distributions of material properties of FRCM structures are layerwise constants that always contributesto delamination and matrix cracking failures [14] at the interfaces between adjacent layers. Consequently, a new classof advanced materials, so-called functionally graded materials (FGMs), are now being instead of conventional FRCMs to formthese structures, in which the material properties of the resulting FGM structures are designed to vary continuously andsmoothly through the thickness coordinate. It has also been reported that FGM structures have better performance than con-ventional FRCM structures, due to the continuous distributions of in-surface stresses through the thickness coordinate, andlower transverse stresses at the interfaces between layers. A comprehensive survey of the relevant theoretical methodologiesand numerical modeling of both FGM and FRCM structures can be found in the literature [515] . Among these articles, theliterature survey carried out in the current work will focus on the related articles dealing with the buckling analysis of FGMand FRCM cylinders due to mechanical loads.

    Some two-dimensional (2D) buckling analyses of laminated composite cylinders and FGM ones have been presented.Based on a higher-order theory, Simitses and Anastasiadis [16] , Anastasiadis and Simitses [17] and Anastasiadis et al. [18]studied the buckling (or instability) of moderately thick, laminated composite cylinders subjected to axial compression,external pressure, and combinations of these two loads, respectively, in which some crucial effects on the critical loads of the cylinders were examined, such as the stacking sequence, radius-to-thickness ratio, and length-to-radius ratio. Basedon the modied Donnell thin shell theory, Soyev et al. [19] and Soyev [20] investigated the elastic buckling of FGM trun-cated conical shells subjected to hydrostatic pressure and combined axial tension and hydrostatic pressure, in which thethrough-thickness distributions of the material properties of the cone were designed to have some specic functions bychanging the volume fractions of the constituents, and the material-property gradient index is concluded to have a signif-icant effect on the critical loads of the cone. This approach was also extended by Soyev [21] to the buckling analysis of FGM circular truncated conical and cylindrical shells under combined axial tension and external pressure as well as restingon the Pasternak type elastic foundation, in which the appropriate formulas for the critical loads of these shells with andwithout elastic foundations were presented. The buckling and postbuckling behaviors of cylindrical shells under combinedloads were presented by Shen and Chen [22] , in which the edge effect on the critical loads was considered using the bound-ary layer theory, and the effects of initial imperfections on the interactive buckling load and postbuckling behaviors of theshell were also discussed. Based on a higher-order shear deformation theory combined with von Karman-Donnell-type kine-matic nonlinearity, Li and Shen [23] and Shen [24] presented a postbuckling analysis of laminated composite cylindricalshells under axial compression, and combined external pressure and axial compression, in which the nonlinear prebucklingdeformations and initial geometric imperfections of the shell were taken into account. Hui and Du [25] analyzed the initialpostbuckling behavior of imperfect, antisymmetric cross-ply cylindrical shells under torsion, in which the imperfect shapewas rst considered in the same form of the torsional buckling mode. Based on a higher-order shear deformation theory [26] ,Soldatos [27,28] studied the buckling of cross-ply circular and oval cylinders, as well as antisymmetric angle-ply laminatedcylindrical panels, under axial compression. On the basis of various equivalent single-layered theories (ESLTs), a comprehen-sive survey of the buckling of laminated composite cylinders under different kinds of applied loads was carried out by Sim-itses [29] , and Anastasiadis et al. [30] .

    Some exact and approximate three-dimensional (3D) buckling analyses of FGM cylinders and laminated composite oneshave been presented. Based on the 3D theory of elasticity, Kardomateas [31,32] and Kim et al. [33] presented a series of buck-ling analyses of thick orthotropic circular hollow cylinders under axial compression, external pressure, and torsion, in whichthe bifurcation of the equilibrium of these cylinders was studied, and the critical loads over a wide range of the length-to-radius and thickness-to-radius ratios were discussed. Subsequently, kardomateas [34] assessed the performance of the clas-sical and Timoshenko shell theories with regard to the buckling analysis of these cylinders under axial compression, externalpressure, and a combination of these loads, using various benchmark 3D elasticity solutions given in the above-mentionedarticles. Using a state space method combined with the successive approximation (SA) approach, Soldatos and Ye [35] and Yeand Soldatos [36] studied the 3D buckling of homogeneous/laminated composite cylinders and cylindrical panels, and thisapproach was also used for the 3D buckling analyses of thick laminated composite plates by Fan and Ye [37] and angle-plymultilayered long hollow cylinders by Ye [38] .

    Within the 3D elasticity framework, Wu and Chen [39] presented asymptotic solutions for the compressive buckling of multilayered anisotropic conical shells, in which the 3D buckling problem was separated into a series of 2D buckling prob-lems governed by the partially differential equations of classical conical shell theory, and the differential quadrature (DQ)method was used to determine the critical load of each order problem. Subsequently, this 3D asymptotic approach was usedto examine both the thermoelastic buckling and thermally induced dynamic instability of laminated composite conical shellsby Wu and Chiu [40,41] . On the basis of the mixed discrete theory with a variable kinematics model, Carrera and Soave [42]and Ottavio and Carrera [43] developed an approximate 3D formulation for the linear buckling analyses of FGM structuresand laminated composite ones.

    Based on the principle of virtual displacements (PVD), Cheung and Jiang [44] developed a nite rectangular layer method(FRLM) for the 3D static analysis of simply-supported, piezoelectric composite laminates, in which this semi-analytical FRLMwas demonstrated to be more effective in reducing the computational and core requirements for simply supported lami-nates. This FRLM was also extended to the 3D static, vibration, stability and thermal buckling analyses of piezoelectric com-posite plates by Akhras and Li [4547] . Subsequently, based on the Reissner mixed variational theorem (RMVT) instead of thePVD, Wu and Li [48,49] , Wu and Kuo [50] and Wu and Chang [51] developed the unied formulations of the RMVT-basedFRLMs and the nite cylindrical layer methods (FCLMs) for the 3D bending and free vibration analyses of multilayeredFGM/FRCM plates and cylinders, in which the material properties of each individual FGM layer are assumed to obey eitheran exponent-law exponentially varied with the thickness coordinate or a power-law distribution of the volume fractions of the constituents, and that the relative orders used for expansion of the displacement and transverse stress componentsthrough the thickness coordinate can be freely chosen.

    After a close survey of the literature, summarized above, we found that there are relatively few articles dealing with the3D buckling analysis of multilayered FGM cylinders under axial compression, in comparison to those dealing with the 2D and3D buckling analyses of multilayered composite structures. This article thus aims at developing the unied formulations of both RMVT- and PVD-based FCLMs for the 3D buckling analysis of axially loaded, multilayered FGM and FRCM cylinders. The

    linear buckling theory is used in these formulations, in which an ideal bifurcation phenomenon is assumed, and thus a mem-brane state of stresses exists just before instability occurs. Based on the RMVT and PVD, the weak formulations of the buckled

    state perturbed from the neutral equilibrium are derived. The primary variables, the displacement components and thetransverse stress ones in the RMVT as well as the displacement components only in the PVD, are expanded as the doubleFourier series in the axial and circumferential coordinates, and interpolated with the Lagrange polynomials in the thicknesscoordinate with freely chosen orders. Substituting the above-mentioned kinematic and kinetic models into the weak formu-lations, and performing the numerical integrations in the thickness coordinate, this 3D buckling problem becomes an eigen-valued one, the eigen-values and vectors of which represent the critical loads and their corresponding buckling modes,respectively. In the illustrative examples, the accuracy and convergence of these FCLMs with various orders are examinedby comparing their solutions with the exact 3D ones of multilayered composite cylinders available in the literature, and aparametric study of the inuence of some geometric and material parameters on the critical loads of multilayered FGM cyl-inders is undertaken, such as the material-property gradient index, thickness ratio for each layer, thickness-to-radius ratio,and length-to-radius ratio.

    2. Pre-buckling state in a multilayered FGM cylinder

    We consider a simply supported, multilayered functionally graded (FG) orthotropic circular hollow cylinder under axialcompression ( P x), as shown in Fig. 1. A global cylindrical coordinate system ( x; h and r coordinates) is adopted and located atthe center of the cylinder, and a global thickness coordinate ( f ) and a set of local thickness coordinates, z m m 1; 2; . . . ;N l,are located at the middle surfaces of the cylinder and each individual layer, respectively, as shown in Fig. 1, where N l denotesthe total number of layers constituting the cylinder. The thicknesses of each individual layer and the cylinder arehm m 1; 2; . . . ; N l and h , respectively, and h

    PN lm1 hm , while R and L denote the mid-surface radius and the length of

    the cylinder. The relationship between the radial coordinate and the global thickness coordinate is r R f , and that be-tween the global and local thickness coordinates in the mth-layer is f f m z m , in which f m f m fm 1 =2, and fm andf m 1 are the global thickness coordinates measured from the middle surface of the cylinder to the top and bottom surfacesof the m th-layer, respectively.

    According to the assumptions of the linear instability approach, Leissa [52] notes that a set of membrane state of stressexists in the cylinder just before instability occurs. In a symmetrically FG orthotropic cylinder subjected to axial compres-sion, the displacement components of the mth-layer at the initial position are obtained by modifying the Soldatos andYes equations [35] , and are given by

    um x A0 x; umh 0 ; and u

    mr A0 W

    m0 f m 1 ; 2 ; . . . ; N l; 1a-c

    where A0 is an arbitrary constant, that will be determined later in this article by means of satisfying the force equilibriumequation in the axial direction at edges; the pre-buckling deformations in the cylinder are assumed to be axisymmetric and

    plane strain.

    According to the initial displacement model given in Eq. (1) , it is assumed that in the pre-buckling state the cylinder isfree of initial shear stresses (i.e., s m xr smhr s

    m xh 0, m 1; 2; . . . ; N l), and the initial normal stresses in the mth-layer

    can be expressed as

    r m x f A0 rm x0 f ; r

    mh f A0 r

    mh0 f ; and r mr f A0 r

    and c mij denotes the material elastic coefcients of the mth-layer, which is a constant for the multilayered composite cylin-der and a function of the thickness coordinate for the multilayered FGM one, while the comma denotes partial differentiationwith respect to the sufx variable.

    According to the initial displacement model given in Eq. (1) , the stress equilibrium equations in the axial and circumfer-ential directions are automatically satised, and the one in the radial (or thickness) direction is given as follows:

    r mr 0 ;f Q m23 1 =r r mr 0 Q m22 =r 2 W m0 Q m12 =r : 3 Using Eqs. (2c) and (3) , we can write the state space equations of the pre-buckling state of the cylinder in the following

    By means of the traction conditions imposed on the lateral surfaces of the cylinder, we can readily solve Eq. (4) using thetransfer matrix method combined with the SA method, the detailed description of which was rst given by Soldatos and

    Hadjigeorgiou [53] and also can be found in Wu et al. [54,55] .In the cases of pure axial compression, the traction conditions on the lateral surfaces are

    r N lr f h=2 0 and r 1

    r f h=2 0 : 5

    As mentioned above, the functions of W m0 f and rm r 0 f can be determined using the transfer matrix method combined

    with the SA method [53] .Taking a free body diagram at each edge, we can express the force equilibrium equation in the axial direction as follows:

    Z h2 ph0 Z fN lf 0 r xfrd fdh P x: 6 By satisfying Eq. (6) , we subsequently obtain the expression of A0 as follows:

    mh fP x; and r mr f f mr fP x; 8

    in which f m x , f m

    3. Perturbed state in a multilayered FGM cylinder

    As noted above, we aim at developing the RMVT- and PVD-based FCLMs for the 3D linear buckling analysis of simply sup-

    ported, multilayered FGM and FRCM circular hollow cylinders, subjected to pure axial compression (P

    x), and the detailed der-ivations of these formulations are described as follows.

    3.1. The RMVT-based FCLMs

    3.1.1. Kinematic and kinetic assumptionsIn view of the use of 3D linear buckling theory, a set of in-surface and transverse normal stresses given in Eq. (8) is as-

    sumed to exist in the cylinder just before instability occurs, and this is regarded as the initial state of stresses and is intro-duced in Reissners energy functional of the multilayered FGM cylinder, in which the incremental stresses associated withthe small incremental displacements perturbed from the state of neutral equilibrium will be considered.

    A discrete layer model with linear, quadratic or cubic function distributions through the thickness coordinate for theincremental displacement components is adopted as the kinematic eld of the m th-layer of the cylinder in this formulation,of which the domain is in 0 6 x 6 L, 0 6 h 6 2p and hm =2 6 z m 6 hm =2, and is given by

    um x x; h; z m Xnu 1

    m x; h j; 11 where ( um x ; umh ; umr ) denote the incremental displacement components of the mth-layer of the cylinder in the x, h and r directions, respectively; umi, v mi, wm j with i 1; 2 ; . . . ;nu 1 and j 1; 2; . . . ;nw 1 are the incremental displace-

    ment components at the nodal surfaces of the mth-layer of the cylinder; and wmu i i 1; . . . ;nu 1 andwmw j j 1; 2; . . . ;nw 1 are the corresponding shape functions, in which nu and nw denote the related orders used forthe expansion of the in- and out-of-surface incremental displacements, respectively.

    The incremental transverse shear and normal stresses are also regarded as the primary variables in these RMVT-basedFCLMs, and are assumed as follows:

    where s m13 i, sm23 i, r

    m3 j with i 1; 2; . . . ;ns 1 and j 1; 2 ; . . . ;n r 1 are the incremental transverse stress compo-

    nents at the nodal surfaces of the m th-layer of the cylinder; and wms i i 1; 2 ; . . . ;n s 1 and wmr j j 1; 2; . . . ;n r 1

    are the corresponding shape functions in which ns and nr denote the related orders used for the expansion of the incremen-tal transverse shear and normal stresses, respectively.

    The linear constitutive equations for the mth-layer of the cylinder, which are valid for the orthotropic materials, are givenby

    3.1.3. EulerLagrange equationsThe edge boundary conditions of each individual layer are considered as fully simple supports, which requires that the

    By means of the separation of variables, the primary eld variables of each individual layer are expanded as the followingforms of a double Fourier series, so that the boundary conditions of the simply supported edges are exactly satised. Theseare given as

    Once Eq. (32) is solved, the eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenvectors, which are the critical loads and their cor-responding modal displacements at each nodal surface, respectively, can be obtained. Using this unied formulation of RMVT-based FCLMs, we may analyze the 3D linear buckling of axially loaded, multilayered FGM and FRCM cylinders, andthe performances of various RMVT-based FCLMs with different orders used for the expansion of the in- and out-of-surfacedisplacements as well as transverse shear and normal stresses can also be studied.

    3.2. The PVD-based FCLMs

    3.2.1. The principle of virtual displacementsThe principle of virtual displacements is a displacement-based energy principle, in which only the displacement compo-

    nents are regarded as the primary variables, as given in Eqs. (9)(11) , and this principle is used to derive the equilibriumequations at the perturbed state of the cylinder, and its corresponding potential energy functional ( P p) perturbed fromthe neutral equilibrium state is written in the form of

    m1 Z hm =2hm =2 Z C r t mk umk dC dz m ; 33 In this PVD-based formulation, we take the incremental displacement components to be the primary variables subject to

    variation. Using the kinematic assumptions, which are given in Eqs. (9)(11) , we express the rst-order variation of the po-tential energy functional as follows:

    Eq. (36) represents a standard eigenvalue problem, and a nontrivial solution of this exists if the determinant of the coefcientmatrix vanishes. The critical loads of the cylinder for a set of xed values m ; n can be obtained by

Using the unied formulation of PVD-based FCLMs, we may analyze the 3D linear buckling of axially loaded, multi-layered FGM and FRCM cylinders, and the performances of various PVD-based FCLMs with different orders used for theexpansion of the in- and out-of-surface displacements can also be studied.

    In the following examples, LM ns nrnu nw is dened to represent the RMVT-based FCLMs, in which the in- and out-of-surfacedisplacements are expanded as the nu and nw -order Lagrange polynomials, respectively, while the transverse shear andnormal stresses are expanded as the n s - and nr -order Lagrange polynomials in the thickness coordinate of each layer, respec-tively; and LD nu nw is dened to represent the PVD-based FCLMs, in which the in- and out-of-surface displacements are ex-panded as the nu - and nw -order Lagrange polynomials, respectively, in the thickness coordinate of each layer. In addition, anh-renement process is adopted for this work to obtain the convergent solutions of these RMVT- and PVD-based FCLMs, andthe values of n i i u; v ; s and r are taken as 1, 2 or 3.

    4.1. Multilayered composite material cylinders

    The benchmark solutions of the critical loads of simply supported, 0 =90 20 laminated circular hollow cylinders sub- jected to axial compression were presented by Noor and Peters [56] and Ye and Soldatos [36] , and they are used to validatethe accuracy and convergence of the present solutions obtained using the above-mentioned RMVT- and PVD-based FCLMs inTable 1 , in which the bers of the different layers alternate between the circumferential and longitudinal directions, with thebers of the top and bottom layers running in the circumferential and longitudinal directions, respectively, the geometricparameters of the cylinders are L=R 5 and h=R = 0.2, and the material properties of the cylinders are given as

    E L=E T 15 ; GLT =E T 0 :5 ; GTT =E T 0 :35 and t LL t LT 0 :3 ; 38a-d

    where the subscripts of L and T denote the directions parallel and transverse to the ber directions, respectively.For compar-ison purposes, the critical load parameter, P xcr , is dened as

    P xcr P xcr R2 =2 pRE T h

    3: 39

    Table 1 shows the present solutions of various PVD- and RMVT-based FCLMs for the critical load parameters of 0 =90 20laminated circular hollow cylinders under axial compression and with different buckling modes, m 1-5 and n 0-5. Itcan be seen from Table 1 that the forty-layer solutions of LD 22 , LD33 , LM2222 , and LM

    3333 are almost identical to one another,

    and are in excellent agreement with the exact 3D solutions available in the literature. It is also shown that for a xed valueof m the critical load parameter rst monotonically decrease as the value of n rises, and then it increases, while for a xedvalue of n there is no consistent tendency for the variation of the critical load parameter with the increasing value of m , and

    the lowest critical load parameter occurs at the buckling mode, m ; n 3; 2.Table 2 shows the convergence studies for the present solutions of the lowest critical load parameters of 0 =90 S lam-inated hollow cylinders under axial compression and with different orthotropic ratios ( E L=E T ) and different total number of layers ( N l), in which L/R = 5, h/R = 0.2; E L=E T = 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40, and other material properties are identical to those used inTable 1 ; N l = 4, 8, 16, 32 and 40.

In addition, the solutions in paren-theses are obtained without consideration of the effect of initial transverse normal stress (i.e., let r mr 0), and the effectalways decreases the present solutions of various FCLMs, although the difference between them is no more than 0.06%.Therefore, the effect of the initial transverse normal stress on the critical load parameters is concluded to be very minorin the cases of buckling of axially loaded cylinders.

Referring to the gures, the magnitude of the lowest critical loadparameter and its corresponding number of half-waves ( m ) for a wide range of the length-to-radius and radius-to-thicknessratios are shown using a solid dark line and can readily be found. It is also observed that the lowest critical load increases asthe laminated hollow cylinder becomes thicker for a specic length-to-radius ratio and as this becomes shorter for a specicradius-to-thickness ratio.

    The buckling of simply-supported, axially loaded sandwich FGM cylinders consisting of a soft FGM core layer bounded

    with two stiff homogeneous face sheets (i.e., homogeneous material =FGM=homogeneous material cylinders) is studied.The dimensionless critical load parameters are dened as the same forms used in the Example 4.1 except that E T is replaced

    t m constant m 1 ; 2 and 3 ; 40b

    where E 0 denotes the Youngs modulus of the material at the mid-surface of the core, for which E 0 = 70 GPa (Aluminum) and

    E f = 380 GPa (Alumina) are used in this example; tm

    (m = 13) are taken to be 0.3; Cm

    where j denotes the material-property gradient index.It is apparent that when j = 0, C 2 1, this FGM sandwich cylinder reduces to a single-layered homogeneous cylinder

    with material properties E f = 380 GPa and t f = 0.3; while when j 1 , C 2 0, this FGM sandwich cylinder reduces to ahomogeneous sandwich cylinder with material properties E 1 E 3 = 380 GPa, E 2 = 70 GPa, and t m = 0.3 (m = 13).

    Table 3 shows the convergence studies for the present solutions of the lowest critical load parameters of axially loaded,FGM sandwich cylinders with different values of the material-property gradient indices, in which N l = 10, 20, 40 and 80; L/R = 5, h/R = 0.1 and h1 : h2 : h3 0:1h : 0:8h : 0:1h; m ; n 1 ; 2. Again, it can be seen in Table 3 that the solutions of LD 22 ,LD33 , LM2222 and LM

    3333 are identical to one another, and the convergent solutions are obtained as N l 80. The lowest critical

    load parameter decreases when the material-property gradient index becomes large, which means that the cylinder becomessoft.

    Table 4 shows the convergent solutions of LD 22 , LD33 , LM2222 and LM3333 for the lowest critical load parameters of FGM sand-

    wich cylinders under axial compression and with different thickness ratios for each layer and different material-propertygradient index, in which L/R = 5, h /R = 0.2, and N l 80. It can be seen in Table 4 that the lowest critical load parameter in-creases when the core thickness becomes thin, which means that the cylinder becomes stiff.

    Figs. 4 and 5 show the variations of the forty-layered LM 3333 solutions of the critical load parameter eP xcr of axiallyloaded, FGM sandwich cylinders with the length-to-radius ratio and the radius-to-thickness one, respectively, form 1 5, in which h/R = 0.1, j = 1; 5 and 1 in Fig. 4; L/R = 5, j = 1; 5 and 1 in Fig. 5. Again, referring to the gures,the magnitude of the lowest critical load parameter and its corresponding number of half-waves ( m ) for a wide range of the length-to-radius and radius-to-thickness ratios are shown using a solid dark line and can readily be found. It is also ob-served that the lowest critical load decreases as the material-property gradient index ( j ) becomes large, while the corre-sponding buckling modes are not affected by changing the values of j .

    5. Concluding remarks

    In this work, we developed a unied formulation of various PVD- and RMVT-based FCLMs to investigate the 3D linearbuckling of simply supported, FGM sandwich cylinders and laminated composite ones under pure axial compression. It isshown in the illustrative examples that the present LD 22 , LD33 , LM2222 and LM

    3333 solutions of critical load parameters of lam-

    inated orthotropic hollow cylinders and FGM sandwich ones are almost identical to one another, and the convergent solu-tions of these are in excellent agreement with the exact 3D solutions available in the literature. A parametric study of variouseffects on the critical load parameter of axially loaded, FGM sandwich cylinders and laminated composite ones and their cor-responding buckling modes was undertaken, examining the effects of the length-to-radius, radius-to-thickness, orthotropicratios and material-property gradient index. It is concluded that the effect of the initial transverse normal stress on the crit-ical load parameters is very minor in the cases of buckling of axially loaded cylinders, that the lowest critical load increasesas the laminated orthotropic cylinder becomes thicker for a specic length-to-radius ratio and as this becomes shorter for aspecic radius-to-thickness ratio, and that the lowest critical load decreases as the material-property gradient index ( j ) be-comes larger, while the corresponding buckling modes are not affected by changing the values of j .

    As we mentioned above, the FGM sandwich cylinders are superior to the homogeneous sandwich ones because the mate-rial properties of FGM sandwich cylinder can be designed as the continuous function distributions through the thicknesscoordinate without any mismatch at the interfaces between the face sheet and core. The present PVD- and RMVT-basedFCLMs may become a powerful and efcient numerical tool for the analysis of various mechanical problems of these FGMsandwich structures, and their convergent solutions may provide a standard for assessing the accuracy and convergence rateof a variety of 2D theoretical methodologies and numerical models of FGM structures. Furthermore, these are also capable of being extensively used to the coupled analysis of some other advanced material structures, such as the carbon nanotube-

    reinforced polymer structures, the functionally graded piezoelectric structures, multiwalled carbon nanotubes and multilay-ered graphene sheets, which will be continuously working on.
